Allegany Co. Md. Porters

Mary Jo, I am also related to the Allegany Co. Porters. Ihave the early history by Frank Porter, but only the first fivegenerations. You have not gone back far enough in yourPorter line to link up with any of the early Porters. This familygoes back to Thomas Porter & Margaret Strude Porter inthe late 1600's. England. Their son John Porter came to Balto. in 1710 and then Carroll Co where he died. Three of his son came to Allegany Co. Md. before 1770 and servedin Rev. War from Bedford Co. Pa. A portrait of Squire JackPorter hangs in the Nat. Museum of Art in Wash. D.C. Theyhave a nice history if you can get farther back to give me aclue. Jim Ryan
